Techniques are provided for enabling cross-process coordination between multiple instances of given microservice in a cloud computing system. A method includes running a plurality of active instances of a given microservice of a computing system comprising a distributed microservices architecture. A first active instance of the plurality of active instances executes a portion of program code of the given microservice to perform a job. The portion of the program code of the given microservice includes an instance synchronization element which is configured to enable cross-process coordination between the plurality of active instances of the given microservice with the support of a collaboration service. The first active instance utilizes the instance synchronization element to communicate with the collaboration service and cause the collaboration service to execute a process associated with the instance synchronization element to thereby implement the cross-process coordination between the plurality of active instances for executing the job.

An industrial IDE supports development of control programming using an industrial domain-specific language (DSL) that allows control programming to be written using a scripted programming language having features catered to the industrial domain. The industrial DSL can simplify and streamline development of industrial control code relative to using conventional graphics-based control programming formats such as ladder logic, since a script-based industrial DSL can be used to write programming code using fewer mouse clicks relative to traditional control programming environments. Editing tools inherent to the industrial DSL can provide dynamic programming feedback that guides the developer through the process of developing control code. The industrial IDE can also provide tools that extend the platform to users who wish to customize the industrial DSL to suit their preferred programming approaches.

A system for developing software provides a graphical user interface on a display of a client device, the graphical user interface displaying features from a library of features for a custom software application, implements simulations of a plurality of the features available for demonstration through the graphical user interface, stores blocks of source code for each feature in a source code repository wherein the blocks are adapted to provide an actual application when compiled by developers, receives from the client device, by a server running a software building component, one or more selected features for the software application, automatically integrates, by the software building component, the one or more selected features to generate an integrated feature set based on attributes of each of the selected features and an inter-feature rules set, and generates an interactive visualization of a navigable prototype of the software application based on the integrated feature set.

A method may include obtaining, from a runtime system that executes code, a source value at a source point of the code and a sink value at a sink point of the code, identifying a potential taint flow from the source point to the sink point by performing a series of taint inferences that each infer a relationship between the source value and the sink value, and determining whether the potential taint flow is an actual taint flow by performing a series of taint checks that each analyze the execution of the code using the source value and the sink value.

The platform comprising one or more computers configured using computer readable instructions stored in non-transitory computer memory to provide the software development platform, wherein the software development platform is configured to implement a plurality of electronic operational domains providing user-interactive capabilities or internal functionalities of the software development platform. The domains comprising a project scope process, a pricing process, and a project development process. The platform is configured to use a configuration involving knowledge graph to recommend features.

An augmenting system for augmenting a program's original class with an augmenting class is provided. In some embodiments, the augmenting system receives a definition of an augmenting class that includes a data member. The augmenting system generates resolution code for the computer program. The resolution code is for accessing a reference to an original instance of the original class and providing a reference to a corresponding augmenting instance of the augmenting class. When processing a statement of the computer program that accesses the data member using the reference to the original instance, the augmenting system generates access code for the computer program. The access code uses the resolution code to retrieve the reference to the augmenting instance for the original instance and accesses the data member based on the retrieved reference to the augmenting instance.

Techniques for generating plug-in application recipe (PIAR) extensions are disclosed. A PIAR management application discovers a particular data type within one or more data values for a particular field of a plug-in application, where the particular data type is (a) different from a data type of the particular field as reported by the plug-in application and (b) narrower than the data type of the particular field while complying with the data type of the particular field. The PIAR management application identifies one or more mappings between (a) the particular data type and (b) one or more data types for fields accepted by actions of plug-in applications. The PIAR management application presents a user interface including one or more candidate PIAR extensions based on the mapping(s). Based on a user selection of a candidate PAIR extension, the PIAR management application executes a PIAR that includes the selected PIAR extension.
